Dublin refusing to do interviews with rte after the connolly ban. Absolutely petulant as_ky (Kerry) - Posts: 535 - 25/06/2017 18:42:59 2004894 Link
Replying To as_ky: "Dublin refusing to do interviews with rte after the connolly ban. Absolutely petulant" Their sponsors won't be happy. jimski (Kildare) - Posts: 381 - 25/06/2017 18:54:52 2004910 Link
Pretty sad alright. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 25/06/2017 18:58:52 2004916 Link
Replying To as_ky: "Dublin refusing to do interviews with rte after the connolly ban. Absolutely petulant" That comes across as pretty petty. Kerry never pulled that stunt even after the Sunday Game went judge, jury and executioner on the likes of Galvin a few times. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 25/06/2017 19:02:00 2004918 Link
Me thinks the lorry load of sponsors won't be impressed whatsoever with that KerryAnimal37 (Kerry) - Posts: 20 - 25/06/2017 19:02:11 2004919 Link

Replying To kavvie: "dont blame them/spillane and o rourke hung connolly out to dry.." Anthony Tohill did the same to Paul Galvin once and that was while he was the international rules manager in an international rules test year. Kerry let it go.

Shows how low the dubs are. Wasn't it RTE and Ciaran Whelan that launched a media campaign against Lee Keegan last year DonahysHedFones (Kerry) - Posts: 21 - 25/06/2017 19:17:09 2004939 Link
an armagh lad grabbed a down player by the throat nearly choking him late on in the armagh down game9clean game generally) and there wasnt a word out of them about it.which was the more serious incident? connolly is no angel but hes picked on..as was paul galvin and noel o leary in the past kavvie (Clare) - Posts: 505 - 25/06/2017 19:17:23 2004940 Link
Great to see a stance been taken. I didn't say anything from the media regarding Paul Kerrigan laying a hand on the same official for cork against tipp. I see Brendan Murphy was sent off again for Carlow today will his temperment or discipline be dragged through the ringer tonight ? hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 25/06/2017 19:22:56 2004946 Link
So it's pat spillane and colm o Rourke fault Connolly got suspended....... nothing to do with Connollys own indiscipline Think Gavin s approach is all wrong here ! rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 620 - 25/06/2017 19:26:13 2004950 Link

End of the day, as with Galvin, if you are a high profile player with a reputation everything you will do will be under the spotlight. Like with Galvin, while they often got singled out they can only blame themselves for having no temperament. Connolly broke the rules, should of just accepted the ban and it all to end there and then as_ky (Kerry) - Posts: 535 - 25/06/2017 19:29:20 2004953 Link

Shur what did we miss anyway? Some guff along these lines: "Westmeath are a great side, we knew we were in for a tough battle today. We are just delighted to scrap over the line and get the victory here today". Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 25/06/2017 19:45:02 2004967 Link
I couldn't care less as these interviews with players and managers are just boring. I assume Dublin are making out that there is a witch hunt against them. Nothing compared to what Sean Cavanagh had to suffer after his tackle on Conor McManus, you would think he had murdered someone. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1877 - 25/06/2017 19:50:31 2004970 Link
Beware, super evil Dublin are here, no talking just 31 point thumpings all round for you nicey nicey PC types :D Such a load of bolix, what do ye actually care about no boring interviews that are practically automated at this stage. No big deal, on we go! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 25/06/2017 19:50:46 2004972 Link
Absolute joke, what Connolly done was wrong, it might have bring fairly harmless but it was wrong and the rules are the rules. yes he might be the best player in the country but he was still wrong and this thing of him having no protection is stupid, the best player on a team whether it be Dublin or a club team is targeted so Connolly is no special case I'm all for managers sticking up for and supporting the players but Dublin need to admit he was wrong. As Pundits it is their job to discuss matches and incidents that occurred during a match. Think the dubs have a case of sour grapes WW9 (Wicklow) - Posts: 109 - 25/06/2017 19:50:56 2004973 Link
